RESURRECTION

Ceremonial Qigong for the Dark Goddess, Xi Wang Mu

A Self-Guided Course Gently Held within a Five-Week Container

with Special Guest Lorie Eve Dechar, Author of Five Spirits

we will be met by the Queen Mother of the West with a fiercely accepting gaze.

Xi Wang Mu is our teacher as we make this crossing and move into the unfamiliar beyond.

Bowing to the Dark Goddess

Releasing this course again — in a new form — for those who wish to practice on their own but with others doing so at the same moment in time.

The Dark Goddess is our sternly loving guide through the threshold. She teaches the necessity of death in order to be reborn, and does so in a uniquely impartial way— offering us not a moment of condemnation nor an ounce of praise— her way is an uncorrupted freedom from judgment.

The Qigong forms we’ll practice are specifically hers, calling on her profusion of animal familiars, including Phoenix, Snake, and Tiger— who, in this set, comes in to represent Xi Wang Mu herself.

WHO THIS COURSE IS FOR

For you, if you can feel the season turning in your own body and you're ready to meet this late-autumn threshold — the harvest, the grief, and the letting go — with Xi Wang Mu, who knows the way down.

For you, if something in your life has ended, or needs to, and you want a ceremonial way to honor the little death and make space for the new life.

For you, if you find yourself at your edge, ready to be supported by the power of an ally here to help us meet — equally — the densest of material as well as the purest of potential.

For you, if you want to practice in your own time and rhythm, yet alongside others moving through the same five weeks, held within a shared beginning.

For you, if you're new to Qigong or to learning with Brea, and you’re seeking a focused container that welcomes you in and takes you deep into this practice tradition.

Open to all practice levels; no experience necessary

For women and those who have historically socialized as such
